With Modern Fields, you can register your own post types and taxonomies without a single line of code, like CPT UI or ACF.
It’s simple, quick and very easy. You won’t need another plugin for this purpose anymore.
Register a custom post type
Just go to Modern Fields > Post Types to register a new post type.
You need to define at least :
In Informations section:
- The post type key. It must be unique and you shouldn’t change it afterward
- Singular and plural label, used in the admin and the website
In Behavior section:
- Enabled should be on.
You can keep any other value by default. You can overwrite the auto generated labels if you need.
You can also customize the icon and position of the post type menu.
Position 20 will set the post type menu just after Pages, while position 90 will display the menu at the very bottom of the admin menu. Other values are:
- 2 – Dashboard
- 4 – Separator
- 5 – Posts
- 10 – Media
- 15 – Links
- 20 – Pages
- 25 – Comments
- 59 – Separator
- 60 – Appearance
- 65 – Plugins
- 70 – Users
- 75 – Tools
- 80 – Settings
- 99 – Separator
